Book Description

Everyone has had to present during their lifetime. We’ve all spent agonizing hours trying to make those PowerPoint presentations engaging. Well now there is a tool that will make those presentations look like child’s play.

Impress.js is a powerful library that eases the task of creating presentations with smooth animations without depending on a software tool. You are no longer limited to desktop tools as these presentations run on any supported browser anywhere on the Internet.

"Building Impressive Presentations with impress.js" is a quick guide to creating professional presentations using the best aspects of CSS3. It will also guide you through several practical examples which go beyond the conventional slide-based presentations, covering each aspect of the Impress library.

From simple presentations to your own personal website this handy practical guide will ensure you get the most out of Impress.JS as quickly as you can.
